LA TROBE University students were awarded for their hard work, at the Bendigo Campus Prize Ceremony at The Capital theatre on Wednesday.

The ceremony involved 120 prizes and scholarships being presented to students by a range of industry sponsors.

Some students from disadvantaged backgrounds were awarded scholarships to assist with study costs, while others were awarded prizes for their academic success.

Emily Glenn, who is completing a bachelor of education (primary), was awarded the Kluwell Publications Educational Scholarship, which consists of a monetary scholarship of $10,000 throughout four years.

Ms Glenn, who comes from a small town called Mathoura, in New South Wales, said the scholarship was designed to provide financial assistance to students who have relocated to Bendigo from rural areas.

She said she was "over the moon" to be chosen for the scholarship, which she would use to pay for her study costs.
